Wesam El-Hanafi and Sabirhan Hasanoff eh? Could they be Arabic you suppose?
I think you may be right Alex. It's a good possibility.
Fry these sons of bitches.
Thanks for all the info. You have great writers on staff!
When will people learn that terrorism is under a large microscope and you will get caught. If you want to support Al Qaeda, go back to your country and leave ours alone!!
Not necessarily but they are likely Islamists. Good enough guess.
Alex Winter: do you mean arab? possibly. only 15% of the muslim world is arab, so they could very well be from anywhere... even...(duhn duhn duhn) the united states.
the names mean nothing.
This is just racial profiling. Why aren't there any white people named with them??
Attorney Preet Bharara ....Could he too be ARABIC you suppose?
Indian
Yeah I think he did mean arab? It is what he said isnt it? dur
At the very least – Islamic, I would guess...go figure. But let's not Profile here. They could be Buddhists...
Spelling mistake: Qaeda -in the third line (1:41 p.m. post)
It was written the right way in the earlier post (1:13 p.m.)
Arabic is a language not a race. They could be Arabian or they could be from other parts of Asia. I have never heard of Al Queda lol.
It would appear as though to me there aren't any White people mentioned because there were none involved.
